ABSTRACT
This plant re-rating was achieved by full conversion of the existing aeration tanks to a hybrid integrated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) media system. Concurrent upgrades included improvements to the inlet works, construction of four new primary clarifiers, a sludge dewatering facility and a new septage receiving station.
